Andrew Leigh, Author
I have been working with Tessa for many years, both as Co-Founder of Maynard Leigh Associates
(www.maynardleigh.com) and as the author of five (almost 6) books she helped design and create, as well as designing and organisng the print of my Ethical Leadership Action Cards, Branding History Speaks and Andrew Meets, and all accompanying materials for the 50 Ways To Succeed At Work book and podcast project.
You will be exceptionally lucky to engage this designer, who is always busy and exceptionally talented. She is customer-minded, creative, and good at problem-solving. Which means you always get the design solutions that you need, and when you need them.

If I had to sum up Tessa as a supplier, I would say that, in my experience, she always delivers. On time and to the brief.

"42 Days, 25 Expert Collaborators,
21 Zoom Meetings,
5 Sleepless Nights,
3 Bars of Dairy Milk (that's just me).
One extraordinary teammate, Dr Marlize De Vivo
and one incredible designer, Tessa Blanshard-Phibbs,

have made this one of the proudest moments of my entire professional career.
Today we, The Active Pregnancy Foundation, launched 11 activity-based resources for pregnant & postnatal women. They're FREE to download and I couldn't wait to share them with you.
Not only do they look so beautiful, but they're packed with Top Tips and Dos/Don'ts to support women to stay or become active during pregnancy. I wish I had these when I was pregnant with Floss, then I wouldn't have felt so afraid to do things."

"Tessa is not only fun to work with, she took my rusty ideas and unrealistic expectations and transformed them into a functioning, transactional website that I could manage day to day.  Tess & team kept me informed of every important step, even guessing correctly what I was trying to describe.  They presented options when needed and kindly showed me how things may work more effectively drawing on her years of experience. I learned a lot. Highly recommended."

The Buckley Practice
"Working with Tess and Gabor was absolutely fantastic and we couldn't be happier with the results. The new logo and website have transformed how we are perceived to the outside world and we are already seeing an uptake of new patient enquiries. Thank you to everyone involved in the project, it went ahead without a glitch and I would highly recommend Tess to any professional organisation looking to update their brand or website, you won't be disappointed!"

Maynard Leigh Associates
"We've received the first series of the 'Do It Now' cards and they look spectacular! They are ingeniously designed and are a beautifully clear manifestation of the concept of Ethical Leadership and Impact. I am boundlessly grateful to you for sharing this work of genius with us!
These cards will undoubtedly make the sessions we are planning to do on Ethical Leadership more stimulating and effectual."
Vivek Arora, Co-Founding Director, Maynard Leigh Associates, New Delhi, 2021
